Authentication
(also known as "two-factor authentication") is an extra layer of security you can add to your account.An account protected by an authentication tool not only requires the correct login email and password to access, but requires a unique security code whenever a login attempt is detected from a new location or unknown network.

Authentication

One of the authentication tools at your disposal is
SMS authentication
. This method uses your phone's text messaging service to send you security codes whenever a new login attempt is detected.

Setting up SMS Authentication

When you create an account, you’ll have the option to setup an authentication method during the registration process. If you already have an account, you can also add, update, or remove your authenticator at any timeby following these steps:

Common Issues Solutions

If you still have access to your old phone, you can remove SMS authentication on the
account management page
. Simply follow these steps:

Sometimes your code may be delayed—either due to problems with your phone service or an error with the authentication system. If this happens, don't try repeatedly re-sending your request for a code immediately; instead, wait at least ten minutes and try again.

If the code doesn't arrive within ten minutes, you can either wait longer (we’ve had reports of codes suddenly delivering after an hour or so) or
contact our support team
for help changing your authentication options. If you end up receiving your code while waiting for a reply, simply let us know so we can close out your ticket!

Once you authenticate a network, you will have the option to save it as an authorized network so you don't need to authenticate it again. You can view a full list of all your authorized networks in the
Security
section of the
account management page
. You can also remove any previously authorized networks from this list, which will prevent access from those networks until another security code is entered.

If you see a message asking you to "wait five minutes and try again," it generally means that there have been too many recent attempts to send security codes to the number you're using. Waiting five minutes before trying again should resolve this error.

You may also see an error if our system can’t deliver an authentication code to the number you entered. If the number you’re using is for a regular cell phone, double check to ensure the number is correct. If the number is for a different kind of phone service, it’s probably not compatible with our system. You can try using a different number, or you can check out the
Authenticator App
for another great way to protect your account.

Yes! You can use the same phone number for as many accounts as you'd like.

Landlines and online phone services such as Skype and Google Voice won’t work with the SMS authentication system.

Most experience comes in the form of experience orbs, small green and yellow spheres that move toward the player and will automatically be added to their total when collected. Experience orbs cannot be added to the player's inventory.

Gathering experience points from experience orbs increases the player's experience level by gradually filling a bar on the bottom of the screen until a new level is achieved when the bar is full. When the player dies, they drop experience orbs worth
7 * current level
experience points, up to a maximum of 100 points (enough to reach level 7). All the other experience vanishes.

Experience can be gained from several different sources:

Experience orbs fade between a green and yellow color and will "float" or glide toward the player up to a distance of 6 blocks, speeding up as they get nearer to the player. Experience orbs pulled towards a player are slowed by spider webs. Experience orbs can also be pulled around or away from the player by running water currents.

When collected, experience orbs make a Christmas bell-like sound for a split second. Unlike resources, experience points are picked up gradually: no matter how many orbs are in range of the player, they will be added to the player's experience one at a time. In extreme cases, this can result in the player being followed by a swarm of orbs for many seconds. If an experience orb isn't collected within 5 minutes of its appearance, it will disappear.

Experience orbs vary in value, but naturally spawned orbs will always have an integer value of 1–11, 17, 37, 73, 149, 307, 617, 1237, or theoretically 2477 (although currently no orbs with this value will spawn). Fishing, breeding, and trading drop a single orb with a random value in the appropriate range. Breaking blocks, killing mobs and players, smelting items, and bottles o' enchanting calculate their total experience amount and then split it into values of 1, 3, 7, 17, 37, 73, 149, 307, 617, 1237, and 2477. Higher values are chosen first, so for example a total value of 1000 would be dropped as orbs with values 617, 307, 73, and three 1s. Note that while the first Ender Dragon in a world drops 12,000 experience, it is dropped in 10 waves of 1000 and one of 2000, so no orbs of value 2477 are dropped.

Now that General Electric (NYSE:GE) announced it is breaking up, speculators are kicking the tires to value the pieces. This sent GE stock up $1 per share on June 26, which doesn’t sound like much but represented an 8% pop in shares that open for trade June 27 at about $13.80 each. The transactions will take years to complete, with the release saying Baker Hughes disposed of “in an orderly manner,” and 80% of the healthcare unit distributed to current GE shareholders.
